Thumbs Up!!!
Inspires me to show up for rainy track days and learn how to do it, instead of taking a loss on my entrance fee.
I can do some local riding in the rain to get used to the idea. Just hate to get my bike all coated with dirt.
After busting my clavicle, I've since been really scared of breaking my rear tire lose coming out of corners.
This guy's coping very well with a lose rear tire.Last edited by Buffalo Bill; 01-22-2020, 10:26 AM.1982 GS1100G- road bike

I love the use of presetting the drift heading into corners. Even notable former-NBA players (ahem...Iverson) who abhorred practice would have to admit more is better in this case. Wish we had the opportunity to try it locally.'83 GS650G
